Pros

Depending on the team/manager, you can have a flexible schedule working from home on occasion. 35 hour work week (doesn't apply to all departments). The mission of the organization is good.

Cons

Virtually no racial diversity of leadership staff. Many of those that do have a racially diverse background have sad stories to tell about the treatment and inequities they have received while employed here. Many people of color end up leaving the organization. Clear and blatant favoritism. Old boys club network. "Layoffs" happen frequently.

Pros

Some incredibly kind, smart, and passionate employees. Above average pay for a non-profit (could be better), fulfilling mission, great benefits (healthcare, PTO, 8% 401k match)

Cons

The higher up you go in the org, the worse it gets. Executive leadership is abysmal and they completely eroded trust in their ability to lead. Most of the C-suite needs to be replaced with people with higher EQ. Marketing in particular has an extremely toxic corporate culture that’s become immensely worse in the past 3-5 years. Layoffs were never a common occurrence, but in the last couple years, they happen with no rhyme or reason and those exact roles that were eliminated are seemingly reposted just mere weeks after folks are pushed out. Beware of what team you’re joining. It’s a mixed bag. Some amazing teams with incredible leadership, and some not.
